🛑It's wrong for you not to acknowledge literary pieces that are not yours.
🛑Some even have the nerve to claim ownership and put their names.
🛑And some put “𝐂𝐎𝐏𝐈𝐄𝐃” when they know the authors and ought to acknowledge them.
Have you seen those kinds of people before?
🛑How about those who give out other people's paid ebooks as freebies/bonuses for their classes?🤦♀️
